TALES OF MIDNIGHT is the superhero comic book property created by FRANCIS LEE that is currently being developed for Film and TV ... Officially Licensed Merchandise ... NFT and the METAVERSE
Drawing on his great love of comic books and his extensive knowledge gained from years of owning and running a comic book and collectables store ... FRANCIS LEE created TALES OF MIDNIGHT after he spotted a gap in the industry for a new superhero property to be introduced into the market.
Having created his storyline, he published the TALES OF MIDNIGHT comic book in order to test the appeal of his characters.
This proved a huge success with the first prints of the comic selling out and leading to a demand for more.
He took TALES OF MIDNIGHTon the road to comic conventions around the world and rapidly gained an enthusiastic following, due the appeal of the look and feel of his characters, as well as the compelling storyline.
What started out as a small independent UK comic book soon gained in global awareness, thanks to the publishers of PLAY TIMES urban vinyl toy magazine seeking a license to publish pages of the comic every month in their own internationally published magazine.
Such was the appeal to the readers of that magazine that the publishers of PLAY TIMES flew Francis Lee out to Singapore to sign copies of the magazine for the TALES OF MIDNIGHT fans at the launch convention for the PLAY TIMES magazine’s own toy range.
This further boosted the awareness for TALES OF MIDNIGHT, leading to more and more international convention appearances like SAN DIEGO Comic Con, resulting in a truly global following, stretching all the way from San Diego to Singapore, with Europe in between, garnering an army of fans of all ages and genders.
The growing awareness of TALES OF MIDNIGHT was not limited to just the fans. News of this hot new property soon reached the eyes and ears of the licensed merchandise industry and before long companies were lining up to acquire licenses to produce merchandise such as lunchboxes, calendars, playing cards, poker chips, greeting cards and of course the superb limited edition statues produced by collectable giant CORGI.
Such was the impact of TALES OF MIDNIGHT that the BBC sent a film crew over to record an interview between ADIL RAY and FRANCIS LEE to explore the history of TALES OF MIDNIGHT to find out more about the creator of this new comic book phenomenon and to see why it had gained such a widespread global awareness and following in such a short space of time.
TALES OF MIDNIGHT will continue to be marketed through the international shows and conventions that Francis Lee plans to attend to meet fans and sign autographs for the fans that he meets there.
The appearances at shows such as these, along with the global marketing from companies such as CORGI, who promoted their officially licensed TALES OF MIDNIGHT merchandise, should always ensure a healthy long term profile for the brand.
